Well, I've found out that in writing, the most useful aids for the
reader take the most time to write. Since an index is one of the most
useful aids in using documentation, I would expect it to cost a lot of
time writing.
ST-guide is nice because it can do some sort of indexing automatically.
But it only does one-level indexing, and I still have to find a way of
EXCLUDING some words (that are referenced to from some pages) from the
index. Too bad Holger didn't finish the Nuetzliche Anweisungen zum
schreiben einer hypertext ;-) in the docs...
BTW can we postpone this subject a little (as we are now talking about
the user interface)
Erlend.
